I loved this book! There are some horrific things that happen in this book, but life isn't always pretty. This story is told with such love. I laughed with and cried with these characters. I had forgotten how much I love a character driven novel because I have been reading too many plot driven thrillers. Do yourself a favor and read this book. And no, I haven't seen the movie and I won't. I don't want any other version of this story to ruin my experience with this book. A big bonus was that I got to meet the author and got my book signed! A fantastic story!
